SWIMMING POOLS
POOL CREDITS
As of October 1, 2003, MSD is
eliminating Swimming Pool credits that were previously shown on you bill.
POOL FACTS
- There are over 13,000 swimming
pools in Louisville
- Wait at least 48 hours after
any chemical treatment to the pool water before draining your pool. This
will allow the chlorine to dissipate.
- Some pool treatment chemicals
contain Copper and Silver that are toxic to aquatic creatures and can
cause fish kills, if discharged to a stream.
POOL RULES TO PROTECT OUR
STREAMS AND SEWERS
- The backwash from a pool
filter system should not be discharged to a stream; it should be
discharged to the sanitary sewer system, whenever possible.
- Contact MSD if you plan to
drain your pool to the sewer system to make sure there will not be a
problem in the sewer system or wastewater treatment plant downstream of
your property. MSD staff may request that you limit the discharge rate
into the sewer system.
